Yet she is well settled model of duty;

There is small chance of truth at the
goal where there is not child-like hu-
mility at the starting post.
AS if we did not suffer enough from
the storms which beat about without,
must we conspire also to harass one
another
1t is foolish to try to live on past ex-
perience. 1t is very dangerous, if not
fatal habit, to Judge ourselves to be
safe because of something that We felt
or did twenty years ago.
Yesterday is yours no longer; to-
morrow may be never yours, and in the
living present You may stretch forward
to the things that are before.
The divinest attribute in the heart of
man is love, and the mightest, because
the most human principle in the
heart of man is faith. Love is heaved;
faith is that which approprates Heav-

A COOP DRINK.-In warm summer
weather many persons feel an irresisti-
BILE craving for something sour, and Of
ten crafty this desire by free indul-
gence in pickles or vegetables made
acid with vinegar. This demand for
acid indicates deficiency in the acid
secretions in the stomach, and the de-
mand for an artificial one is a natural
| one. but vinegar is not the best substi-
tute. Lactic acid is one of =. the chief
agents that give acidity to the gastric
Juice of the stomach in health. This
| is the acid of sour milk, and therefore
one of the best summer diet drinks that
we can use is butter milk. 1t satisfies
the craving for acids by giving the
stomach natural supply, and at the
same time furnishingln its cheesy mat
ter good supply of wholesome nutri-
ton. A man will endure fatigue in
hot weather better on buttermilk than
any drink he can use.
